How many articles does a new blog realistically need before seeing consistent organic traffic?

How many articles need to publish before started seeing steady organic traffic? Did content quality, niche or topical authority make the biggest difference?

That question is very subjective.
There is no set number or range. If I started a blog about my daily poops it would likely be an SEO flop.
SEO is the hardest way to make money until something clicks or earns branding.

You're looking at 20 years in business, millions of dollars in advertising and acknowledment of the user community.
